11. Never tell someone they’re wrong

“The Romans… the negotiorum gestio. When the property of an oppressed person is in danger, any man may step forward to save it. This man is the gestor, the director of affairs not strictly his own. He has received no warrant-higher obligations authorize him to act.” (P.37)

10. Avoid arguments. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you still lose

I watched the documentary after reading the second chapter ✊🏾

I started re reading this book with the hope of understanding Zionism better.

I read the first chapter yesterday after finally finding a free online pdf that I downloaded. I looked for it for a few months.

The first story is sweet. She’s inspired by seemingly trivial discoveries and the people around her that she underestimated until she speaks to them. The librarian, the guy who works at ZAZ, and her colleague at the department store. Her first step to learn about computers for a job…

This book should have been in the fiction. The fact that there are human beings who think and plan like this is disgraceful and dishonorable. The people who have followed his teachings and adopted his beliefs have excised their own humanity. I did not finish reading this book. Honestly, I tried to but very soon realized there was nothing useful to learn. Would not recommend. zero stars

Imaaaginaaation!

Auto-Suggestion & Specialised Knowledge

What a guy!

Lawrence Hill says, “repetition of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind, is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.“
And he says, “Faith is the eternal Elixer, which gives life power and action to the impulse of thought!” Finally, he says “any idea, plan or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.“

Burning desire is the first step. There is no such thing as impossible. If you want it badly enough, Nature will ‘bridge the gap’ between the silence in a deaf boy’s brain and the sound of the outside world.

So far so good. Written from a strong “rich white male” pov. “Anything the human can believe, the human mind can achieve.”
